    Something I've noticed too, is how he incorporated some stuff from electronic music and drumming. This performance is not the perfect example, but besides his other incredible abilities, he's also a master of drum and bass, and he could really sound like a machine. Even the fills he does in these dnb performances sound like a machine, and he does some of that stuff on Africa here.
    I also read that he has played with some African musicians in his youth, which explains how he mixed effortlessly the electronic and the African.
    Damien is simply amazing! Thanks Andrew for the great video.
    Cheers from Québec, Canada.

    The thing that messed me up on stick path for literally a decade was trying to mimic my kit to my favorite drummers kits. I had set up an exact replica of one of Portnoy's kits that I struggled for years and years to play on. Then, I met Mike at a meet and greet and realized a was at least a foot taller than he was and what worked for his setup simply would not work for me. You gotta create your own stick path, unless you have an identical twin that is a famous drummer LOL.

    All very skilled, very flash and whatnot... but by halfway in, I was bored. Musically it's vacuous, the other parts serving only to provide the drummer with a platform to show off. I'd much rather hear a drummer absolutely shredding it up in service of a song that needs that power, instead of just fast but tedious soloing with fast fills all over the kit. Yeah, he's hugely capable... but can he play Smooth Criminal as tight as Sugarfoot?

He said that Damien is the best drummer he has worked with (and believe me he has worked with a Top drummers) , whatever making that compliment from the calibre of Jean Luc Ponty is not joke.
